Through scientific research and old-fashioned ingenuity, aquaculture technology and culture methods progress constantly. There is a persistent need for the transfer of this information to the aquaculture industry. Fortunately, there are a number of technical and informational resources available in
Massachusetts
and abroad. The Department of Agricultural Resources retains an aquaculture resource library that is available for review by appointment at the DAR office in
Boston
.
Massachusetts
is also fortunate to have three regional state aquaculture centers located in Southeastern (SEMAC), Northeastern (NEMAC), and Western (WMCSA),
Massachusetts
. In addition to staff expertise at each of the centers, they also house a great deal of aquaculture information. SEMAC has also established a number of satellite resource centers at regional public libraries throughout
Southeastern Massachusetts
. The centers are an excellent resource for technical outreach and industry support.
